Materializing a Target from an IMS Unload Data Set

Materializing a Target from an IMS Unload Data Set

Use the following general procedure to create an unload data set of an IMS source database and use it to materialize a relational or nonrelational target. This procedure assumes that you are using PWXPC.
For an IMS unload data source, you can use Designer to import a data map with multiple record types to create a PowerCenter source definition.
To materialize a target from an IMS unload data set:
  1. Create an IMS unload data set that contains the source data that you want to use for materializing the target. For more information, see the IBM or BMC documentation for the unload utility that you use.
  2. Create the target database structure.
  3. In the PowerExchange Navigator, create a data map for the IMS source from which you unloaded data.
  4. In the PowerCenter Designer, import the data map and create a mapping. In the mapping, specify the IMS segments from which you unloaded data as the source and the database structure that you created in step 2 as the target.
    If the data map contains multiple record types and you want PowerExchange to perform group source processing, select
    Multi-Record Datamaps
     in the
    Import from PowerExchange
     dialog box. Selecting this option causes PowerExchange to import the data map as a multi-record data map.
  5. In the PowerCenter Workflow Manager, create a workflow and session and configure a PWX NRDB Batch application connection.
    In the application connection, specify a
    Location
     value that points to the PowerExchange Listener on the z/OS system that contains the IMS data. In the session properties, specify the IMS unload data set name in the
    IMS Unload File Name
     attribute.
    Then start the workflow to move the IMS unload data to the target database.
    If you plan to use PowerExchange CDC to update the target, you must set up restart tokens.
